| dc.description | The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) sets forth in its Strategic Framework 2020-2030, eight development agenda items to achieve its objectives, one of which is the harmonization of electronic data exchange by digitizing the production and exchange of phytosanitary certificates through the IPPC ePhyto Solution. ePhyto facilitates safer, faster and more cost-effective trade in plants and plant products and help protect plants from pests. Since its inception in 2019, more than three million ePhyto certificates have been exchanged among trading countries. This brochure serves as a resource mobilization tool to sustain the ePhyto systems and processes, and to enjoin other countries to adopt the IPPC ePhyto Solution. The brochure will serve to mobilize resources for funding the IPPC ePhyto Solution, a web-based system that digitizes the process of issuing and exchanging phytosanitary certificates, replacing paper certificates with digital certificates called ePhytos. The digitalization process facilitates international trade of plants, plant products and regulated articles by simplifying trade, reducing business transaction costs, expediting clearance of compliant products and eliminating fraud, thus reducing risks of spreading plant pests. Safer trade helps prevent the entry and spread of pests, thus helping achieve food security, protect the environment, livelihoods and economies. | |
